Melissa, are you a doctor? I want to be, but I'm not. I'm not a doctor either and we're
not psychologists and we're not psychologists.
We're not.
We're not experts at anything.
In fact, we just challenge all our shit, so.
And we love giving you guys advice,
but as we said. We love giving you guys advice.
Do not take what we're saying as gospel.
If you do feel like you need to speak to somebody,
please seek professional help.
Hey, Tynies, coming up on this week's episode,
I have a new social media manager, so I'm
divulging into everything Gen Z that she has to teach me.
And I talk about Wimbledon.
And how I nearly fainted.
And then we have three really good dilemmas, and Sophie gives the most amazing piece of advice,
and I'm actually quite scared for Jake to be talking about it.
Enjoy the episode, guys. Love you.
Love you.
Enjoy the episode guys, love you. Love you.
Oh.
Hey team, we're back.
She's got some gorgeous popcorn there.
Oh my God, where is it?
It's right there on the floor.
Can I actually?
I'm not gonna have it because it's so interruptive.
I'm gonna actually tell you a story.
So I was just a bridesmaid to one of my very good friends,
Megan's, at her wedding.
And there was three of us were pregnant as a bridesmaid.
But anyway, they're in their first trimester,
so like they weren't necessarily showing,
but also they were incredibly nauseous, blasted.
One of the girls comes out the church
and I just see her with this great big weight-trace bag
and I'm like, what's happened?
As we're throwing carafetti, she opens up,
she's like, wants some massive popcorn, massive pop chips.
She's like, oh, fair.
And I was just like, I'm obsessed.
So then there was more pregnant women at this wedding
than there were non-pregnant people.
Honestly, half of the wedding were pregnant.
I was like, this is my vibe.
Sheep booze bill for the bride and groom.
Yeah, but not on the food bill.
Cause we were like, the food came out.
People, I was like, did you get the chicken tenders?
Did you get the pizza?
Did you get the cake?
Did you get this?
Everyone's like, no, I didn't see it.
I was like, no wonder. Cause there was a pregnant table outside when everyone's dancing.
I was out there like, me and all the pregnant girls. And the guy just kept crying over,
we had like, I had three plates of chicken. So it was too much. And I looked around at one point,
I was like, not sure this is a vibe actually. All of us just gorging.
I think that's so great. I was like, maybe I should go back.
So all the really drunk people that needed to eat
and sober up, it was all gone.
It was all gone.
People like, I never saw it.
I was like, but I will say an error with the chicken tenders.
They had aioli or garlic mayo.
No, I was like this for the rest of the night.
I was like, I bought a borderline had to go home.
So I was like, I stink.
Don't you think aioli is different
to like normal garlic taste?
I don't know what- It's so strong.
It's so pungent and it stays in your bones
and comes out of your like pores.
Tuna as well, it's just like the same stench.
It's like someone's talking to you with either garlic breath
or tuna breath, you're like, get out of my face.
You know what is something that you told me about?
Oh my God, I'm scared.
Broccoli breath.
I didn't know it was a thing.
And I had eaten it once, like before, like this, once I was like seeing this boy and I eat broccoli
and Sophie was like, why have you done that?
So stupid, your breath's gonna stink.
And I was like, unreal.
Did I say that?
Yeah, I was like, when he says I want some of my breath.
Then you were like, no, you smelled it
and you were like, no, it's fine, but you know what it is?
I figured out it's the burps that come from broccoli.
Smells like a food waste disposal bin.
Yeah, because it's so much sulfur.
It's so much sulfur, it's like egg.
I sat next to Tobi two days ago on the sofa.
I was like sat on like the floor in the sun
and then him and his friend were on the sofa
and then I moved to sit next to him
and I sat down and then the moment I sat down,
ooh, no, the drains are like making weird smells.
Tobi went, I've just burped.
And I was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry,
but we just had broccoli at lunch.
And then a minute later I burped and I was like,
oh, almost done.
It's like sulfur.
It's the worst now.
It's like eggy, it's really bad.
So almonds do that to you.
And it's, almonds are very sulfuric,
is like the word, and so is broccoli.
And so when you eat it, you have these like very, very,
oh my God, you know that if you go on a Zempik, you barf up egg,
which is the funniest thing is that I know this
because when I went to LA, I had very bad situations
and I did a barf in the car and Jamie revealed
to the whole New New Ads audience at the time
that I did this barf and it stank like rotten egg, right?
I was like, I feel like she's mad.
Everyone DM'd me about it and I was like,
so weird, like I didn't really understand it.
I was like, whatever.
Anyway, then I had this seamstress come
to fit me for a dress and this poor bloke
is standing all the way in the corner.
And I'm like, he would pin me
and then he'd stand in the corner.
And I was like, are you okay?
And he was like, I'm so sorry,
I'm on Monjaro or Azempic and my burps are illegal. And I was like, are you okay? And he was like, I'm so sorry. I'm on Monjaro or Azempic and my burps
are illegal. And I was like, what? Anyway. And his boyfriend was like, no, no, no, Sophie,
they stink. And I was like, of what? He was like severe egg. And I was like, it's all
making sense. I got DM'd so much about this.
But let's just clarify, Sophie's never been on Monjaro or Azempic. It sounds like you're
going to be like, it all makes sense because I'm on Monjaro.
Oh God, no, I was never on it, but like people DM'd me because,
saying it's a thing.
Well, I didn't even think that people thought I was on it,
but probably that is what they did think actually now.
Fuck me.
Oh my God, so tell me,
why did you only stay for an hour on the show?
So I went to Wimbledon on Friday for the men's semi-finals
and Leo was there and it was all called.
Leo Adol.
Leo DiCaprio.
Oh.
Okay, so Leo is like a little bit in front of us.
And so the cameras, you see the cameras
are all directly on the players
and then you'll suddenly see a camera like,
I'm talking like the big paparazzi cameras like,
into the audience and then it's like zoom.
And there's me, I'm like,
so what was it on there?
And I'm like, Jamie, I'm like Jamie with cameras.
Quick pose. Anyway, lo and behold it's fucking me, I'm like, oh, so was it on there? And I'm like, Jamie, I'm not Jamie with cameras.
Anyway, lo and behold, it's fucking me,
lardy, camera, a couple of roads in front.
Anyway, about 20 minutes after that happened,
I realized the cameras couldn't give,
I hadn't got a clue who I was.
I suddenly am like, wow, I'm feeling a little bit odd.
We were stuck in the car for two hours,
it took us an hour and 40 minutes,
and you know I've got this blood pressure thing,
and it's very, very, it always happens when I'm very hot.
And it's when I sit down.
It's not when I stand up, it's sitting down.
It's like, I obviously have bad blood circulation too.
I don't know what the fuck it is.
So by the time I got to Wimbledon,
I felt really lightheaded.
But then we went and had lunch
and I was like, surely that's gonna help me.
Then we go sit down and I'm like flustered and hot.
And then I'm just like, I literally said,
Jamie, I'm gonna faint.
He was like, what, how bad?
And I've got the fan on me and I've got glass on him.
Don't make a fuss.
Cause I just felt like everyone would,
you know, if someone fussed over a pregnant woman,
everyone starts freaking out.
And Jamie's so animated.
He's like, what, what?
And I'm like, Jamie, calm down.
But I was like, I can't, he was like, we need to get out.
And I was like, I can't stand up right now. Like you have to wait till the fucking. No, it was in like, I can't stand. But I was like, I can't, he was like, we need to get out. And I was like, I can't stand up right now.
Like you have to wait till the fucking.
No, it was in like, I can't stand up all faint
if I stood up, it was up there.
Oh my God, so.
And then it finished and like that set finished
and I went and I had to keep, he put me in a taxi
and he stayed because I was like, you stay.
Obviously he was gagging, so excited to go.
And I was like, I need to go.
The poor taxi driver just had this big pregnant lady
in a white tight dress.
I just thought I must look so done.
I was so glam and I'm like this on the back seat,
genuinely sprawled over.
My arm was like this and I just fly in out.
She was like this.
But did you feel better after sleeping like that?
I felt so much better.
And then I was like, and then as I went in,
he was like, are you okay? And I was like, feel great, thanks, bye. And I was like, and then as I was on the phone, he was like, are you okay?
And I was like, feel great, thanks, bye.
And he was like, this was so weird.
And then Paul Jamie called me the minute I got home.
He was like, are you still Nick?
Cause I'm gonna leave now too.
I was like, well, he was like, feel so lonely.
Like he was like, random people keep coming
and sitting with me cause you laughed and I had a spare seat.
Also, have you seen the clip,
the photos of like
Sienna Miller and like, you know,
Theo James, all of that.
I sent it to Jamie, Jamie goes, who are they?
I'm like, are you joking?
You know what's really weird?
Gen Z's don't know celebrities.
Like the girl that's in my social media, I was like,
I think I was showing her that photo of Sienna Miller.
And she goes, who's Sienna Miller?
I was like, are you joking me?
I'm desperate to meet this new,
so Melissa's got this social media.
Oh my gosh, she's so cool.
How often do we see her every day?
She's 21 years old.
Did you see her today?
Wildly mature, no, seeing her tomorrow.
Just for context guys, obviously Melissa and I
do social media, but like, it's a bit of a slap
and we don't have any on today photos
and all these different things.
So Melissa's now trying to be Gen Z with this Gen Z girl.
No I'm not, I just feel like she knows trends
and I don't know trends.
So that's the thing.
Do you have a day set like we're gonna do TikTok today
or is it like you mix and match each day?
No, yeah she'll come and I'll be like I need some pickies.
But she'll like pre-plan like things
and like send them to me on a group chat
like do you like this?
And I'll be like yeah that's cool.
She's like okay we'll kind of use that for Instagram.
Group chat, who else on the group chat?
My agent.
Obsessed, I was just, the hats go off to you
because that's like my worst nightmare.
I'd feel so awkward with some random person in my house.
I thought I would too, but because she's so-
She's so not.
Yeah, so not awkward, so confident, so chilled,
it just doesn't feel like that at all.
Guys, you're getting a real insight
into the influencer life, hashtag influencer.
And it's good just to do it once a week,
otherwise you don't have, otherwise my photo dumps would just still be random.
Like you go to lovely events
and get those nice photos from that.
I don't get that.
Yeah, I don't really do photos.
I just go, I just, I'll do luckily from an event.
From an event, you'll get all the pictures, yeah.
That's how I survive.
But let me tell you,
the events are dripping off now.
So it's gonna be a sterile old week
for not that anyone cares what my Instagram saying.
Anyway, what other things?
How's the house?
So we had our first dinner party that we went over to.
It was amazing.
Oh my God, I did.
The house is really lovely.
It's really nearly done.
It's great.
It's really, really lovely.
And it's nice to have like space.
And also I'm soon, soon to come gonna be making a nursery, which is like wild and so fun.
It's so fun.
It's so fun.
Do you get to choose like fun wallpaper?
Like, yeah.
Anyway, oh my God, it's so funny.
So everyone at the wedding was going up to me
and they were like, so what's sex there?
And Jamie's just like, obviously,
just say we're not finding out.
And I'm like, step telling everyone.
And all like our close friends are a bit like,
you're literally telling strangers.
And I'm literally like, with the names.
And everyone was like,
so like no one says baby names before.
So apparently they don't,
but then I do know that some people
like to shotgun the name.
Which I also understand.
I was like, what's wrong with saying that?
What's the name?
You've already named it.
You've already named it.
Yeah, exactly.
But anyway, apparently it's not the dumb thing.
And people were quite like offended and shocked. Apparently it's not the dumb thing. People are quite like
offended and shocked.
Apparently it's really taboo to also ask someone about what their name is, if they're an unborn
child.
Not one person will come up to me, literally every single person I've met, and has asked
me this at, so I'm like, can you not? Like, what if I don't want to say?
It's true.
But I guess like you do normally.
I've definitely been one of those people who go,
oh my God, do you know what you're having yet?
And then I go, what's your name?
Because what else do you ask?
Are you bowling sick?
Well, I know it's difficult
because you want to seem interested
and like make sure they're getting asked
but you don't know if it's there.
And it's actually worse than like,
that I think the worst thing that I am a bit bored of
is like, how are you feeling?
I'm like, pregnant.
Yeah.
Like I know it's a really sweet thing to ask.
But then it's dickish to not ask.
But it's like the way it's asked,
like how are you feeling?
And I know it's like, I know it's really nice
because actually sometimes like you do want,
you do want like that sort of validation.
What have you done this weekend then?
Debrief.
I ordered quite a lot of art in the house,
that was quite fun.
Oh my God, my art just arrived too.
Like as in like we've buried slowly over a year.
We've been thinking about it.
I feel like art's really important
to like take your time on and choose
and like really fall in love with.
She's a grown up girl.
So you spent your weekend buying art.
No, I didn't, but like really thinking about it,
measuring, all that boring shit.
And then like just doing household stuff.
Can I say you and Toby have become like without you knowing a little bit like you're becoming
very wholesome.
Well, you know, you got to do these things.
You do.
I've got no shame.
I love the wholesomeness.
I'm like, it makes me feel less old. Travis fell in love with the perfect woman.
She listened.
She cared.
There was just one catch.
She wasn't human.
She was an AI companion.
But when her behavior takes a disturbing turn, Travis finds himself at the center of a much
darker story. Okay, Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber, I need to discuss. He's drinking alcohol and everything,
he's not sober then. I'm a bit confused. I always thought Justin Bieber was sober.
I watched his YouTube documentary.
I always thought he had like a, he had a drug addiction.
It's very open about it.
I always thought he was sober.
I thought like Hayley loved it.
She loves her like martini.
She loves her wine.
She loves her red wine.
But no, no, they're pictured drinking glass of wine,
which I'm down for gorgeous wholesome vibes,
but it's giving like, is he okay?
To be fair, that looks wholesome.
But then she posted like when they released this album,
like she put on her story like,
fuck you, you'll fucking get it now, or something.
And it was almost just being like,
obviously he's been fucking with you for like,
getting press for the release of this album,
which can I just say, did I not say,
I think this is a publicity stunt?
It was.
Guys, I've just got goose.
I called it.
Sorry, I find that really upsetting though.
I love you, Hayley, but like,
why are you being like, Harney West?
Like, don't pretend like your husband's
having a mental breakdown for the press.
She never did.
But like, fuck you all.
Like, you're the one who literally acted like
you were having a mental breakdown.
We've all been worried.
And it's for, I don't know about that. We've all been worried and it's true.
I don't know.
We all have been worried.
Everyone, every the believers have been worried that is, that is the take that I think everyone
is like taking away from that post.
And is the new album mega?
Yeah, I'm a bit concerned.
I really like it.
I really like like five songs.
I love, I need to listen to it.
I'll listen to it.
They're really good.
And one of them is about H it. They're really good.
And one of them's about Haley and it's really sweet.
I know.
And I will say since the album's come out,
he looks completely normal, right?
He's also put things in there that are quite funny
of when he's been having his breakdown,
taking clips of that and literally put it into the album.
It's very like inner child work.
He's now like little Bieber,
and he's put when he was playing the drums
and he was a kid in there in one of the songs. He's now like little Bieber and like he's put like when he was playing the drums and he was a kid
like in there in one of the songs.
He's obviously having a lot of therapy around
in a child work and that's his whole album
is about that basically.
It's funny how Justin Bieber's like really affects
a lot of people.
Like people just love him so much.
Bella, my friend who got we both know
says that Justin Bieber is her first love
and she like swears by it.
She's like forever and always like Justin was the first person I fell in love with
and then she's still to this day is like,
I would do anything for him.
My friend Hermione went to watch him live
at one of those concerts and found out
his favorite color was purple.
So she wore a purple shirt,
but then also did the whole like,
I'm not even gonna look at you to play hard to get.
And I'm like, yeah, babe,
he's gonna see you out of the hundreds of thousands.
But he did used to do that.
He would like pick pretty girls out.
And like then they would then suddenly Cindy,
what was she called?
Wolfie Cindy, yeah.
Wolfie Cindy, he just-
He put her on the map.
Yeah, he just-
I'm Madison Beer.
I know, and they all have a very similar look,
which is not very like Hailey Bieber.
It's not.
Like that tiny little nose.
You would have been quite up history,
that tiny little nose and the big brown eyes.
What I will say, Selena Gomez though, different again.
No, I think she's quite that look, brunette,
they're all very, very brunette.
Yeah, Hailey was the first blonde.
And then Hailey B Le Blondie,
and now she's brunette since being married.
Hmm.
Suspicious.
It's funny, I don't feel like we have types, do we?
You, I think, go for a very pretty boy,
apart from that mom spanner in the works,
but he was really pretty.
He was like a bit rough around the edges.
Oh yeah, that one rough around the edges.
But he was also very gorgeous.
But like- I just go for people.
I fancy them, I fancy them.
I know for me too.
And it's also like about the nurse, the personality,
the chat, everything. 100% and people go,
not your usual type.
I'm like, firstly, is that like a weird dick?
And secondly, like, I don't have a type.
I just fancy people.
Do people say that about Toby?
When I first got to know him, I'm like, not your usual type. I'm like, I've had literally one boyfriend, I just fancy people. Do people say that about Toby? When I first got to them, they're like,
I'm not your usual type.
I'm like, I've had literally one boyfriend.
What is my usual type?
I know.
People are saying it as if I've had 10 boyfriends
that have all been exactly the same
and then one is different.
I know people always say that to me about Jamie.
I'm like, have you ever met my ex-boyfriends?
And secondly, I've literally had one.
Yeah, it's so true.
So I'm like, what is the type?
Right, should we read some dilemmas?
Mm-hmm. It's true, so I'm like, what is the type? Right, should we read some dilemmas?
This episode of Wednesdays is sponsored by Simple UV Fluid SPF 50.
That's right, it's that time of year
when your SPF becomes your best friend.
It's British summertime.
I mean, you should wear SPF all year round,
but in the summer it is essential.
I know, right? I mean, you want to SPF all year round, but in the summer it is essential. I know, right?
I mean, you want to know that your skin is protective,
whatever the weather,
and a great SPF is just the way to do that.
That's the funny thing,
you really do never know what the weather's gonna be like.
Okay, so there's no windows in our studio,
and sometimes we'll be in here recording for hours.
Who knows what the weather's going to be like
when you go back outside?
Yeah, it makes getting ready quite tricky, doesn't it?
At least you know what you're getting in winter.
So true.
I remember like a few days ago actually
when I left the house so cloudy,
I was like, perfect, don't need to go to the SPF.
And then I came out of my pilates class
and it was like so bright sunshine
and I had to run home with my hands over my face.
I know the same happened to me.
Like today, covered in SPF and then it's raining.
I know. And then it's sunny and it's just like, you know, luckily I did come out with the SPF but like Lord above I could not have done this.
So do you know I actually do love about British summertime is the light evenings for a start and then like you know rooftop drinks with the girlies are gonna go on for ages.
I love the whole getting ready process.
I love a rooftop drink.
It's just the best.
British summer's pretty mega,
particularly in London, I think.
It's just like, there's so much to do.
Everyone's on good vibes.
Everyone's standing around on the streets in the pub.
But what I will say about British summertime
that is unpredictable is the weather.
It does sometimes just ruin the plans.
Like if you've got an outdoor, you know, park day,
well screw it, if it's raining, you can't do it.
Very true.
Okay, so we've established there are some practical
challenges to getting ready in the UK during summer,
but we must have picked up some tips over the years.
I mean, like, come on, how does your getting ready
routine change in summer?
Well, I guess for me, I obviously put SPF on no matter what.
I wear a hat, I sometimes bring a hat.
Setting spray is a big thing for me
because like if it's hot, you sweat,
you know, waterproof eyeliner
because like your eyes get really like sweaty
and then your eyeliner leaks, all of these different things.
Very true, very true.
But I will carry on with SPF in winter.
That is the one thing, I can't get lazy with it,
the SPF just needs to stay on all day, every day.
It needs to almost be like our moisturizer,
our primer, our first thing that we do.
Yes, you are so right.
I love simple UV fluid SPF 50.
It protects your skin from UV damage
and it also helps reverse the visible signs of sun damage.
Yeah, it's a skincare and an SPF all in one.
And it feels so nice too.
My skin feels so glowy after I use it.
Agreed.
I usually find it so hard to find an SPF
that doesn't feel greasy, but this one is amazing. It feels so light on my skin feels so glowy after I use it. Agreed. I usually find it so hard to find an SPF that doesn't feel greasy,
but this one is amazing. It feels so light on my skin.
And it is perfect under makeup too, don't forget that.
I used to dread putting on SPF like under my makeup because it would go all pilly and stuff,
but this is just beautiful. Like it just slides on like that fluid sort of texture and it's just
invisible finish. So I don't have to worry about it being seen under my makeup.
Exactly. It doesn't leave any form of white cast.
You'll run moisturizer and like your makeup sits on it really well.
It's really good.
It's also really good for both of us because it's suitable for sensitive skin.
So it's not going to break us out and stuff like that, which I have struggled with before.
It's so true.
Sometimes you get like a little bit of a bumpy rash.
Yes. You know, like bumpy on the T-zone area. Whereas this this stuff, no, no, no, it's so true. Sometimes you can get like a little bit of a bumpy ride. Yes. You know, like bumpy on the T-zone area.
Whereas this stuff, no, no, no, it's very light.
I'll be wearing my Simple UV Fluid
when I go to the weddings and the hens
and all the barbecues this summer.
Gorgeous, I'll be wearing it at the exact same events
and also just like walking around London,
going to Pilates, going to the gym, going to the coffee shop.

Dilemma one. Hey, Sophie and Melissa, I'm an OG tiny. I'm a bit of an awkward situation with one of my friends
and I don't know if it's me being paranoid
or if it's something I need to address.
This is gonna sound really petty,
but she keeps copying what I wear.
Melissa's heartburst.
It sounds ridiculous, but ever since I started noticing it,
I can't get it out of my head.
Reeve and Fran's in school and we live near each other,
so we see each other all the time.
She's always complimented my outfits, my nails, jewelry,
et cetera, which is obviously completely normal
for friends to do.
But recently I've noticed she's started buying
the same clothes as me.
Clothes she's seen me wearing and asked me
where I got them from.
Now that's where she went wrong.
Because then it's sneaky.
Like don't ask, oh, is that me going,
where's that shirt from?
And then wearing it tomorrow without telling you, you'd be like, that's just odd. Why don't you just say, it's like me going, where's that shirt from? And then wearing it tomorrow without telling you,
you'd be like, that's just odd.
Why don't you just say, can I buy that shirt?
It started off as the odd top
and I thought it was just a coincidence.
But then she came to one of our,
to our friend's birthday drinks wearing the exact outfit
I'd worn to a night out a couple of weeks before, no.
Oh, come on.
It is a compliment.
Copying is the biggest flattery or whatever.
Some of our other friends even commented on it. So it's not just in my head. I want to say something, but I'm
not sure how to go about it. Has this ever happened to you before? I'd love your advice
on what to do. Melissa's got it going on consistently at the minute. I've had it at school and uni,
which is very similar to when it should happen, I guess.
Yes. People haven't got their own identity at that point. Totally.
Several are copying one another.
I think at this age, it's like a bit bizarre.
Although like you and I copy each other, but in like-
But that's different.
It's like, that's sick.
I'm gonna get that tomorrow.
Is that all right?
Also like we will just turn up in the same outfit.
There's nothing we can do about that.
Or sometimes we'll send each other something,
be like, you need to get this.
You'd love it.
It's almost like we're encouraging the copying,
which is maybe-
Yeah, we are.
Weird.
But no, we don't copy. No. This is not the same. It's not like we're encouraging the copying, which is maybe weird. Yeah, we are. But no, we don't copy.
This is not the same.
It's not the same.
So listen.
What are you doing, Ibarla?
Have you addressed any of it?
No.
Guys, when I say like, this is like happening,
like Melissa will put an Instagram photo up
and from head to toe the outfit will be copied
and then another, and then that will then.
It's like exact items, like a bell, a bag, a coat,
and they're all like luxury statement pieces,
I would say more so, do you know what I mean?
They're not just general tank tops,
like it's an obvious thing to copy,
and then the photo start will be copied,
and you're like, ah, what do I do about that?
And then it like, then I was like, is it in my head?
Do you have a comment on the photos?
Yeah, I think so.
So you were encouraging it. So is it in my head? Do you have a comment on the photos? Yeah, I think so. So you were encouraging it.
Oh.
Oh.
So actually it's my fault.
But I bet you, this car might be like.
So you're like, I think we need to turn inward.
No, but you know what the thing is,
is if I was this girl, I'd be like,
oh my God, you look so nice.
Because what else do you say it's so awkward?
It's like you can't not comment.
The whole thing is really awkward.
Listen, I don't think you can do anything.
I think you've got to think of it as such a flattery thing.
And it might be a bit annoying,
but at the end of the day,
it's somebody wanting to look like you.
And it is just a really sweet thing.
But then it's annoying if she gets like
really complimented on it and you're like,
fuck sake, she copied me.
It's annoying if she looks better than you.
And that's really annoying.
Like if I was like, for example,
Sophie very kindly lent me her pink dress.
This is my thing background. When I went to Tia's wedding, I had so many compliments on it. And I was like, for example, Sophie very kindly lent me her pink dress, this is my thing background when I went to Tia's wedding,
I had so many compliments on it.
And I was like, it's not mine.
So I went to Sophie's, she lent it to me.
Thank you so much.
Like, I just felt like I had to say that.
So if I had outright copied somebody.
Yeah, if you'd bought that dress without telling me,
cause that was a very statement dress.
I'd have been like, listen.
That's fucking annoying.
I'd be like, that's fucking annoying.
Cause you looked unreal in it.
You know what I mean? I would just be so like. But the fact that you were like, that's such a gorgeous dress. And I was like, that's fucking annoying. Because you looked unreal in it. You know what I mean?
I would just be so like.
But the fact that you were like,
that's such a gorgeous dress.
And I was like, you should wear it for tears or whatever.
That was so different.
I think I was like, can I please wear it?
And I was like, absolutely.
It's just funny the cheek of like the copying.
This is what's the funny thing about this dilemma.
Like the fact that she's going to an event,
however many days after in the exact same dress.
Don't tell her where it's from.
Be like, hmm, can't remember.
Cut the labels out of everything.
Can you check the label?
Oh, I don't know.
I agree.
And I would stop getting things from like Zara and places.
Like I would just get something really niche things.
Tell her you're getting it from Depop.
Just like.
Say it's your mom's.
It's my mom's.
My mom's vintage.
Or, but then she can take a photo of it.
Also we can remember, we always talk about reverse sex,
you could always be like,
oh my God, this girl keeps copying my drawer,
it's really fucking annoying, like she's wearing.
Get your fucking identity, yeah, say that in front of her.
That will stop her from doing it.
Because at uni, like it happened, but like,
you're so right, it's no one has an identity.
And also like you are one of those influences as such,
like you didn't have that inspiration back then,
so like your roommate was like, you're inspo.
Absolutely.
And it was annoying about that.
But now it's like, come on, copy Gigi Hadid, not me.
Well, I know.
I mean, look, like we said, it's a real flattery thing,
but I think that you should try and like-
I get it, it would have really fucked me off.
I so get it.
I agree.
I think I would do some reverse psychology and be like,
oh my God, how would they've copied completely
what so-and-so's worn? And also like, okay, God, how would they've copied completely what so and so is worn.
And also like, okay, first of all,
stop telling her where everything's from.
You must.
And then be like, I kind of want to gatekeep this one,
actually, I don't want anyone else wearing it.
Just say that like that as well.
Oh, by the way, also like you have friends like Bella,
who is actually like, I'm getting these glasses,
don't you dare fucking get them.
And I rate that.
So you should just be upfront about it and be like,
oh my God, can you not copy that?
Yeah. Don't copy that, I really want to be, I hate. She's gonna want to copy it even more if you rate that. So you should just be upfront about it and be like, oh my God, can you not copy that? Yeah.
Don't copy that, I really wanna be, I hate it.
She's gonna wanna copy it even more if you say that.
If you've said it, then she can't,
then she's really going against the grain.
Yeah, fuck.
It's going into like breakup territory that is,
friendship breakup territory.
Yeah, I would be, and then if she does copy,
you can be like, what the fuck are you doing?
Yeah, but then it's also like seems petty from your side.
It's a really difficult one, isn't it?
I think at this point, you've got to be like,
please don't copy it and just make a joke out of it
because I would just have to snap.
Otherwise you're going to hate it.
Or you can be like, oh my God, how nice is this?
So unique, no one else is going to get it.
I hope no one copies it.
Yeah, you've just got to like lay the law down
in whatever way you can at this point
because this girl is unstoppable.
She is unstoppable.
She is a force to be reckoned with.
She really is. She's got it three be reckoned with. She really is.
She's, I caught it three weeks later wearing the same thing
to a party, can you imagine?
She's working overtime to get these outfits in.
She's going straight onto that website.
Right onto Google Image.
What is it?
Google Search.
She's taking a photo of you,
putting it into Google Image Search
and finding where that shit's from.
Oh my God, she really is, isn't she?
Okay, dilemma two.
Hi girlies, I've been with my boyfriend for eight years
and he is amazing.
That's a long time. He is so kind and generous and been with my boyfriend for eight years and he is amazing. That's a lot of time.
He is so kind and generous and lets you do anything for me
apart from this one thing.
Hear me out because I know it sounds childish,
but he won't let me see his location on Find My iPhone.
No, that's fucking weird.
He says he finds it weird and controlling
to know where each other is.
And even though he has loads of his friends
and his mom on that.
No, no, no, no.
Either you have it, don't have it at all.
I don't have it.
You're a man of mystery.
Or you have everybody, including your girlfriend.
Oh, you're great.
She's like, actually disgusting.
Sorry, no, but can you imagine Jamie having it
with all of his mates and you,
and then just turning me off.
I'd be like.
So unacceptable.
For me, it's literally a thing of safety.
We live together, work together, and with our jobs,
we're lucky enough to spend half of the year traveling together.
This is amazing.
So I know where he is, basically 24-7.
I just like to ask to be able to check each other's location
if we need to.
Just fucking put it on his phone.
Like, why are you even asking?
Just do it.
For example, we've just spent the last three months
in South America and stayed in big cities like Rio,
which can be dangerous.
When living abroad, I'll pop to the gym
or go out for a coffee by myself.
And it worries me that if anything goes wrong,
he won't know where I am.
Or on the odd occasion when he goes on a night out
and he says he'll be back at 11 p.m. but ends up being late,
it would be reassuring just to check on his location.
Completely agree.
I know this is bad,
but I even thought about adding myself as a follower
on his iPhone without him knowing.
Would that make me a really bad person?
What would you do in my situation?
I would get his phone
and I would add me on to find my friends and a follower.
And I would be like, if he got annoyed,
I'd be like, you're fucking weird to be so worried about this
that you've made me paranoid.
So you need to suffer the consequences now.
Cause like that's so unacceptable.
It's quite a big thing to not let you be on.
Listen, I will say, this guy I know,
he's very good friends with Jamie,
he did call me last summer and he was like,
can I just have a girl's advice?
And I was like, yeah, he was like,
look, I've got this girlfriend
and she wants me on Find My Friends.
And she has it with all,
and I said, does she do it with all her friends?
Cause like you'll either Find My Friends personal
or you're not.
He was like, yeah, they all have it.
And like they all use it.
I was like, well, then it's not really a big deal.
He was like, I find it so weird.
Like and claustrophobic.
And he was like, not cheating, not doing anything.
He was just like, I find it bizarre.
Like if he's like having a drink after work,
she'll be like, why are you gonna be,
why are you at the King's line or something?
And she's just like-
There's a dangerous zone though. you can't be like that.
You've got to stop.
You have to almost pretend
like you haven't seen where they are.
Right, what are we gonna say?
I would genuinely say to this boy,
you have given me paranoia,
because the fact that you have everyone and not me
has made me feel really bizarre,
and I don't care what you think,
this is a bone that you've got to live with,
because you chose to go down that route.
Like you could have just been like,
okay, it's a bit weird, but whatever, like have fun.
It's also not that fucking unreasonable.
As you say, like you're in new cities that are dangerous.
I don't think it's unreasonable at all,
especially if we live together.
It's really weird that he's so against it.
It is, but what are you doing?
And his mates, why are you not having your girlfriend?
You need to just have this conversation with him.
And I would actually get to a point where I'd be like,
we can't have this relationship if you're not.
It actually gets to a point where you're like,
why are you being so unreasonable about this simple request?
I agree, so I think we're very with you on this
and I would say if you were like,
oh, we've been together for four months,
I'd be like, okay, hun, you need to shut up,
you live together, like, what is he hiding?
100%.
It's a safety hazard at this point,
it's a safety precaution.
Absolutely.
Right, Dilemma Three.
Hey girls, this might be TMI, but here we go.
My boyfriend and I have been together for a couple of years
and we've always had a good sex life, except for one thing.
When we first got together, I told him I like dirty talk,
which in theory I do, and bless him,
he gave it a good go.
Oh no.
But for some reason when he does it, it's meow.
Oh fuck.
Fuck.
No it's not his fault.
I didn't have the heart to tell him at the time
so I pretended I was really into it.
After a while he stopped with a dirty talk
and I thought that was it, problem solved.
But recently out of nowhere he's brought it back girls.
And I can't lie, I hate it.
I fancy him so much until he starts whispering my ear
telling me I'm a naughty girl
and he's going to punish me.
It totally ruins the moment.
I love him so much and I don't want to hurt him
but how can I tell him that the dirty talk needs to stop?
Right.
You can't now, you literally can't, you're fucked.
I know what you can do.
Right, tell me.
Hopefully, this is really manipulative,
you're on some sort of birth control,
or you were on some sort of birth control,
or something in your birth control has changed.
And you can say, my hormones have completely changed.
I don't know what it is, but the dirty talk for me,
it just doesn't do it for me anymore.
It's my hormones.
I still wouldn't be able to do that,
like my heart would break for them.
Well, it's easy, you tell him,
or you fucking throw up in your mouth
every time you have an exam.
Don't you find like boys,
that to me is so, it is, I can understand why it's icky,
but it's just like boys and sex,
like when they're trying so hard,
like I could never, and like,
It would hit them in the ego so bad.
And like, look, I'm married and God love you, Jamie.
Like not, no shade on you, but like I could never,
like I just think it's the sweetest thing
when they think they're naming something.
I know they really do.
And they are like so, and when they finish, they're beaming.
They're like, that was a good one, wasn't it?
And you're like, yeah.
Like it just breaks my soul.
Sometimes half way through, have you come yet?
You're like, yeah.
And they're like, perfect.
And then afterwards they literally look like
they're the cat that got the milk
just because they're like, fuck, I know that.
And then like five, 10 minutes later,
they're like, sorry, and you're like.
God, it's just awful.
But it's so sweet and endearing.
But look, the difference is it doesn't ick me out.
Oh no, no, no.
But I've never had someone talk like that.
Neither have I because it's just not in my vocabulary.
Right, let me really, really think about it
because I have had in past relationships
like started off with very, very like sexy talk over text.
Yes.
And like I set the precedent that I was very into it.
And she was kinky.
And later on, it really started to like, it me out, was it?
And not it me out, but I just was sat in my jumps.
I can't be bothered to do this
for the rest of this relationship.
But Jamie is saying to you, in the middle of sex,
you've been a filthy girl or whatever.
No, I don't know what I would do.
She's shuddered, guys.
I don't know what I would do.
I think I would not respond so much
so that he must think, the problem is you've said you like it
You're gonna have to blame it on something else like hormones. Just go down the hormone route
It always wins and I know it's bad. I've got an idea
You could say that you were listened on a podcast play my podcast that if boys dirty talk
It means they're hiding something so now it's you've got the idea
I don't know why but for some reason when you do that, apparently means boys are cheating.
And now I can't, I can't bear to hear it anymore. I used to love it, but like now I don't hear it.
I'm a genius. Sorry, 10 points for Gryffindor. I have never.
The manipulation you've got inside. I'm scared, Jamie.
Terrified. That was unbelievable though, wasn't it?
Oh my God.
Because you've really got to save his feelings.
I agree.
My brain just honestly, it was like firing
and also letting it set.
Some new neurons while those have been opened.
I think this is the best piece of advice
we've ever given on this podcast.
You know what, if you think about it,
you can actually implement that into any walk of life.
You. You bet.
You bet.
And then also, it will grow our podcast because people will start thinking, God, really insightful
podcast called Wednesdays.
My girlfriend told me this from it and it will just grow and grow.
That's what we want girls.
And that's how we're going to end up on a Netflix show.
And that is how we're going to change the world.
You could start saying like,
I listened to this podcast called Wednesdays
and apparently like a girl could orgasm 16 times
if you start using a bullet in this particular area.
Probably good.
I don't think 16 times as possible.
Could actually girls write in and let us know like.
How many times in a night, not 24 hours, a night.
Let's say 9 p.m. until midnight. Okay, you know what's bonkers?
When I was at school, I remember this girl
had sex with this older guy they were dating.
And she was like, we had sex for two hours.
And it was like their like normal amount of time.
And I remember my friend, Livy at the time,
being like, we have sex in like 15, 20 minutes.
And she was like, oh, poor you.
And Livy was like, I don't think I want to be fucked
for two and a half hours.
I would be in agony.
I wouldn't be able to walk.
I'm also like, he's not enjoying it
if he's lasting that long.
Is he?
That's also like, you know when you're at school
and like, I remember a girl used to be like,
the best orgasm is the third time in a row.
And I'd be like, God, I've never done that.
And she was like, that's like when you have a proper orgasm. It's like just a chat that goes around. I was like still a virgin, like, God, I've never done that. And she was like, that's like when you have a proper orgasm,
it's like just a chat that goes around.
I was like still a virgin, like, oh, okay, yeah.
She's also just got that from Sets in the City,
that's probably not even true.
Okay, well.
Well, I think that was good advice.
Me too, keep us updated.
I think that was manipulation at its highest form.
Absolutely, we've nailed that one.
Okay guys, thanks.
The end of the podcast, love you so much.
Thank you for listening.
Keep sending us in these voice.
Oh, also if you want to send us in voice notes,
we do love it.

Please send us some more visuals.
Or you could send us your Instagram and his Instagram
and we could just do our own background.
Very useful.
If you just screenshot a part of his Instagram,
part of yours, like we then are much more equipped
with our advice.
100%, makes me feel different.
And it's huge, your friends.
Love you so much.

write steamy, ridiculous erotica about each other.
I give them a bizarre prompt, think, apocalypse must include a zombie, and they read their
spicy stories aloud while I judge them on sexiness, funniness, and sheer chaos.
It's hilarious, awkward, and occasionally, kinda hot.
Write Me Dirty. Thursdays just got thirstier. It's hilarious, awkward, and occasionally kinda hot. Write me dirty.
